Essential Questions to ask anyone who will list your home in MLS:

1. Can I speak with the person/people who will be inputting and helping me during my listing? Yes. When you call BuySelf Realty, you are speaking to the people you call throughout your listing, a single point of contact. Other companies require you to pay first, and then they have someone else call you, who often isn't clear on exactly what that out-of-stater has promised you or what your concerns are.
2. Can I list my home in one step that is available 24 hours per day 7 days a week? Yes. You can list your home in one step, order, receive an immediate email with the forms you need to complete. Fax them to the fax number provided, email your photos (where available) to the email address, and you are ready to go into MLS the next business day. Others make you order/call by phone and then wait to get a call back, wait 1-2 days to get you assigned and provide the paperwork, wait for your listing to be in MLS. With our service you can get it done quickly and easily.
3. Can I read detailed and specific information on your website about Ohio? Yes. Our website tells you specifically what you get for Ohio listings. Unfortunately, some other companies websites accept your payment for their "National" service, and then you find out what you do and don't get in Ohio, such as "Oh, Realtor.com isn't included in Ohio" Every metro area has its own MLS, different State and local laws, and market conditions. If the website doesn't have specific information about your area, you are at risk of "In Ohio your phone number doesn't appear on the listing and a disclosure costs extra." Other companies don't even mention the specific name of the MLS in Ohio. We tell you the name of the MLS system you will be listed in, so you can be sure.
4. Can my home be in the MLS the next business day if I am in a hurry? Yes. You can be in MLS in as little as 2 hours with our service, not the 3-7 days others offer while you wait for someone to call you back, mail documents, set up a meeting, or other unnecessary time wasters.
5. Is the agent who will answer my questions licensed in Ohio? Yes. Your support person is a licensed Ohio Broker with 11 years of real estate experience. Other companies offer brand new agents from Seattle whose experience consists of sitting at a desk all day in their faraway office. They don't know anything about Ohio's stringent rules or recently updated requirements on all home sellers which you will be held accountable for. Some other companies don't even know it is illegal for anyone without an Ohio real estate license to give real estate advice for Ohio transactions.
6. Does your service include the Ohio-Specific Property Condition Disclosure? (and Federal Lead Paint Law Disclosure) Yes. Don't break the law and increase your chances of a lawsuit. Ohio requires all sellers (with few exceptions) to complete a written disclosure form. Don't use a "generic" or non-Ohio-Specific Disclosure, it won't help you comply with Ohio Requirements. Most of our competitors don't provide these forms, and you could pay the price for breaking the law.
7. Does my MLS listing include 15 Photos? Yes. Others don't mention photos because they offer only one photo. We will post 15 photos (the maximum allowed) which you can email to us. Additional photos draw more attention to a listing. One photo is worth much more than 1,000 words, and this helps you show off your home's best qualities.
8. Will you list my home on multiple Real Estate Websites? Yes. With our service your listing won't be on just one or two websites, it will be on many more websites, including popular websites such as Realtor.com, Coldwell Banker*, Remax* and more websites.
9. Does your service include a key lockbox at no extra charge? Yes. Key lockbox=Agent Friendly Listing=More showings=More Offers=Higher Sale Price: Essential to get the most number of showings. Many agents don't want to show your home if access is not through a lockbox. They want their buyer to be relaxed and take their time while viewing your property, and if you are there to let them in or out (even if you then leave), the buyer thinks they are imposing on your time and hurries through the house. Hurried buyers are much less likely to buy your home. We show you the security procedure for using that lockbox that the real estate industry has used successfully for years. Our competitors don't tell you how important the lockbox is when you are in MLS.
